6 2004 Vision Information Access «While access to information and knowledge sharing are regarded as essential elements in fostering innovation and creativity in the information economy, adding new layers of intellectual property protection to the digital environment would obstruct the free flow of information and scuttle efforts to set up new arrangements for promoting innovation and creativity, through initiatives such as Creative Commons.»

7 2004 Vision Public Interest * Treaties must be «balanced and clearly take on board the interests of consumers and the public at large.» Important to safeguard exceptions and limitations in existing national laws

13 WIPO Joins UN (1974) Article 1 Recognition «The United Nations recognises the World Intellectual Property Organization as a specialised agency and as being responsible for taking appropriate action in accordance with its basic instrument, treaties and agreements administered by it, inter alia, for promoting creative intellectual activity and for facilitating the transfer of technology related to industrial property to the developing countries in order to accelerate economic, social and cultural development.»
